RSD

Hi Leelee

So sorry to hear of your problem.  I had no idea such a thing existed.  Several years ago I had an auto immune problem which was vasculitis in my legs which ached so much and I found walking so difficult.  I was given prednisolone (steroids) to get rid of the inflammation in the blood vessels.  It took a long time but did work and I still take a very small dose of steroids to keep me in remission. I wonder if your problem is the result of inflammation too.  I thought my old problem might flare up after my ankle break but it hasn't thankfully.

When I had my cast on for 6 weeks I knitted a small toe section of a sock and put it over the bare toes. It kept them warm and I think helped with the blood circulation.

I am making good progress now and am particularly well in the morning but get aching in the foot and leg and use one crutch in the evenings.

Doctors have different ideas about treatment and all we can do is follow what they say and hope it is the right thing to do.  Hope you improve and soon feel better.

Sorry to hear about your setback.  I hope it helps to know you are not alone,  progress is not at the same rate for everyone.  Be brave and patient.  hard to do this when you normally lead a full active life.  I'm sure in due course you will make the next steps to recovery.
